[Iftop-users] iftop resolving IPs as local hostname instead of regular public PTR

I just checked my system with a tcpdump to catch all DNS messages and I 
find that the host never tries to resolve its own IP addresses when 
iftop is started (but of course I get a ot of DNS queries for the 
connected peers, and they are valid as public DNS PTR records).
So I should definitely check on my system why it's not even trying to 
resolve these "considered local" IP addresses using DNS.

But I'm stuck because I'm not sure where I should look.
